Your Local Trans Boy
Hey Ryan, doubt you’ll see this but I just want to thank you. This song is my favourite, it’s given me so much strength and hope. I’m trans, ftm and coming out has been hard. My mum accepts me and is trying to adjust however she still can’t use he/him pronouns and I’m not allowed a binder. My dad, however, refuses to use my pronouns and just can’t get used to it. This song has given me a lot of hope for the future and I want to thank you. It’s helped me see I will make it. For now, I’m a 14 year old trans boy who hasn’t made much progress but a few years time and I’ll have the power to transition and be me. Thank you Ryan, you’re my idol
Your Local Trans Boy
